Mary Ann Etter, 24, was last seen in Fletcher, Oklahoma, on February 22, 1983. She had spent the evening at the Skate-A-Thon rink in Lawton for her birthday; friends dropped her at her home in the 400 block of North Drive between 11:00 p.m. and midnight. The house appeared dark but a light came on as she approached, and witnesses saw her go inside. Her husband and young son were away visiting family that night.

Days later her brother and sister found the house empty and observed blood on the back porch; they cleaned it and did not report Mary missing until her father filed a report two weeks after she vanished. The original missing persons report was later lost and a new one was filed in 1990. Clothing possibly linked to the case was recovered from a Fletcher dumpster at an undated time.

In May 1991 investigators searched the home with a warrant and used Luminol, which revealed a blood trail from the front door through the hallway into the living room and ending at the back of the house. No further evidence explaining Mary’s disappearance is described, and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Mary, her movements that night, or remembers seeing relevant clothing or activity in Fletcher or Lawton, please share what you know.
